The trees are HUGE! Most of the very old trees(1000 to 2000 years old) are 12 to 18 ft diameter(3.7 to 5.5 meters) and are 320 to 378 ft tall(97.5 to 115 meters).

This tree was 19 ft dia. and 374 ft tall when it fell in 1991. You can barely see me standing on top of it down at the other end. My wife was standing about 240 ft from me and the dia. of the tree where she was is larger than she is tall even at that height. Their mass is truly impressive.

Nice, My wife and I want to spend some time in GB. Most of my ancestors are from there. All of our family historians claim we are mostly scottish and Irish, but who the hell knows. Doesn't really matter to me.
